That sounds like quite a trip! My experience with backpacking with babies is limited to North America and Western Europe, but I would love to take an around the world trip, and I don't see any reason not to take the kids along. Depending on how 'adventuresome' you are, I would think that nearly any country that is generally considered "safe for travel" would be fine, and over 80% of the countries in the world probably meet that description. If you use a trailer or minivan, that's all the better, since the infant will be guaranteed a comfortable place to sleep, and that (along with being well-fed) is the primary concern. Keeping your child entertained certainly won't be an issue, as traveling the world is entertainment enough for just about anyone! Best of luck to you in your travels, and please keep us posted on your adventures. I can't wait to hear about them! Robert Wow! That sounds like quite a trip!

We are contemplating to buy a trailer or a minivan in which we can sleep. We are also thinking about which countries would be feasible. Any suggestions?
